Re: Brake swap (EJ8VTEC)
You can also use 94-01 integra rear brakes.. exactly the same as 99-00 SI.. and alot easier to come across.
You'll need.
The trailing arm and hub assemblys.. which should have the rotor/caliper on them obviously.
Ebrake cables from a 99-00 SI.
And you'll probably want to upgrade your Prop valve to a 4040, and your Brake MC.
And while you're at it slap on some SS Brake lines.

The prop valve wont be labeled 4040 of course. Make sure you get one from an Si or DX hatchback. A 7/8" Si MC would be great as well as a 1" Integra MC. I heard horror stories of SS lines when dirt gets in between the fittings and the braids. Stock lines are fine for daily driving.

You don't need the trailing arms, but it is a whole heck of a lot easier to do the swap than taking just the hub assembly off.

Re: Brake swap (EJ8VTEC)
i used a 00 proportioning valve on mine 00 ex but kept the stock ex master and works great. Good pedal feel. has anyone tried the ex master then switched to the integra? was there any noticable differences

Re: Brake swap (EJ8VTEC)
I guess the cheapest way would be to go to a junkyard, unless you can get some from a local shop or a friend. The only reason I say this is because in the junkyard, the parts may not be in such great condition. I got mine from a shop that I go to often to get parts, so he gave me a pretty good deal for his 'Teg parts.

Re: Brake swap (EJ8VTEC)
DIY, just make sure you have about 2 hours, and secure your jackstands. That is, if you don't have a lift and air tools; if you do it should only take about 45 minutes-1 hour.
p.s. an extra jack helps to line up the trailing arms.
